SOCIAL MOVEMENTS ADVOCATING FOR CHANGE IN THE CURRENT CENTURY

In the 1970s, the concept of "social mobilisation" emerged in India. A number of different labels, such as the "people's movement," "popular movement," etc., were applied to them. These movements surfaced, drawing attention to pressing concerns like sexism and environmental degradation. "Movements of landless, unorganised labour in rural and urban areas, Adivasis, Dalits, displaced people, peasants, urban poor, small entrepreneurs, and unemployed youth took up issues of livelihood, opportunities, dignity, and development, and now women movements," to name a few of their primary goals. In general, these movements were critical of or actively worked to bridge the ideological divide between major political parties. However, many of them had their origins in or were inspired by environmentalist, feminist, or socialist ideology. There have been historical social movements that have influenced the course of our country. There are so many different kinds of social movements that it's hard to categorise them all. Social movements can be either new or old. Citizens' movements like these are not new to the United States. Some of India's most significant decisions and widespread national unity resulted from historic people's movements, such as those that took place in the past. A social movement is an instance of dynamic pluralistic behaviour that builds structure through time and seeks to either partially or wholly alter the existing social order.
